I'll be back, especially for the restaurant

The motel is right across the street from the Alaska Ferry and about 1.5 miles from downtown, but they have a shuttle that is very helpful and almost always available. The hotel itself was very compfortable, though the pillows need a little work - but I am picky! The star of the stay was the restaurant! GREAT dinner with very reasonable prices and a very good breakfast. There are a lot of locals that eat hear and everyone goes away smiling. My partner also really appreciated the number of beers on tap.

The price was high for the room, but I would definitely stay there again.More

Work brings me to Ketchikan four times a year and I always stay at The Landing. It's the people a the front desk and in the restaurant who make it a relaxing place. What I like most about The Landing is that it is Alaska: friendly, down to earth, welcoming, and accepting. Good people. Good place.

This hotel suits my needs just fine. That being said, if you are visiting Ketchikan as a tourist or don’t have much time in town, I’d probably stay somewhere closer to the old-town near where the cruise ships dock. There’s nothing wrong with this hotel, it’s just not located in the “touristy” part of town and if you want restaurants or shops within walking distance, you’re out of luck. If you’re here for work (with a rental car) or flying out on a float plane, then it’s certainly not a bad choice as it is close to the ferry for the airport (airport is across the inlet from town) and float docks and is a decent place to spend a couple of nights. The TV’s here are ancient but the rest of the property hides its age well, and the staff is friendly. Overall the place is clean and quiet and I have no real complaints after staying here a couple of times.

Thank you for taking the time to do a review of our property. We are currently looking at adding all new 37-40" flat screen tV's to our property. We should start this project this fall. All our suites in the newer North Court building have the flat screen tv's; so ask for one of these rooms when making your next reservations. We sincerely hope you will visit Ketchikan again soon and give us another opportunity to service your hospitality needs.Best Regards,Linda PetersGeneral Manager

My first time to Ketchikan, my travel person booked me here, and I was impressed! The staff was polite and courteous, the restaurant food was great, and I upgraded to a room w/ a fireplace and a king bed, that was exceptionally clean, and comfortable to where I could relax on my trip. The hotel is conveniently located between the airport and downtown. I "highly" recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the Ketchikan area!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your first visit to Ketchikan in our hotel. Our Executive King suites with the fireplace and overlooking the Tongass Narrows is a great way to see the water activites in Ketchikan with the float planes and water vessels going all day. You made a great choice to upgrade to that room. We sincerely hope you will make a return visit to Ketchikan soon.

We stayed one night and were so pleased with the location, right across from the Alaska Ferry Terminal, the cleanliness, the room size and ammenities along with the excellent customer service. Their Pub and restaurant provided great food and service. This is the place to stay in Ketchikan. Courtesy shuttle is also available.

The rooms are average -- even the suite had a huge light beaming in the window. It was so hot at night that we had to open the door.

The restaurant serves great halibut. The bartender (Billy - with the eyepatch) is fun and will show you a great time. Remember that smoking is allowed in restaurants/bars in Ketchikan -- you can ask for the fireplace room if you do not like smoke.

The best part is the hotel courtesy van, which will take you just about anywhere in town. Our best tour was with one of the drivers (a wonderful Native lady) who took us on an extensive back-street tour of Ketchikan at our request.

Make sure you get "out on the town" an experience something other than the hotel!

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. We are happy to hear you enjoyed Billy, our bartender, he is a great asset to our company. Cheri, our van driver, also does a great job of making our guest enjoy their time in Ketchikan, not unlike all our drivers. We must apologize for the large light from the freight company across the street when they are working to unload the barge on Wed. and Sun. nights they do have a large light to help them work. We encourage the desk staff to use the North Court building for our guests on those nights whenever possible so they are not disturbed by the light. Upon your next visit to Ketchikan; please request a suite in the North Court which we would be very happy to accommodate you. Also, remember that not only our Jeremiah's fireplace room is non-smoking, but the entire downstairs restaurant which is open from 6AM daily to 9PM. We do hope you will make another visit to Ketchikan and allow us to service your hospitatlity needs again. Linda, G.M.
